Flyin' High (in The Friendly Sky) Lyrics - What's Going On - The Dirty Dozen Brass Band

Flying high in the friendly sky 

Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no 

Rest of the folks are tired and weary 

Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down. 

I go the place where danger awaits me 

and it's bound to forsake me. 

So stupid minded. 

I can't help it 

oh ya, so stupid minded. 

But I go crazy when I can't find it, 

In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend. 

But soon the night will bring the pains, 

The pain, oh the pain 

Flying high in the friendly sky 

Without ever leaving the ground 

And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby 

Nobody really understands, no no 

And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me 

Selfdestruction in my hand 

Oh Lord, so stupid minded 

Oh and I go crazy when I can't find it 

Well I know I'm hooked my friend 

To the boy who makes slaves out of men. 

And oh beleive me 

Flying high in a friendly sky 

Oh baby, flyin' high
